On structures of certain -we11-posed mixed problems for hyperbolic systems of first order L^{2} By Toshio OHKUBO and Taira SHIROTA \S 1. Introduction and results. Let P be an -strictly hyperbolic 2m\cross 2m -system of differential opera-cylinder . Let B be an tors of first order defined over a m\cross 2m -system of functions defined on the boundary . We of consider the following mixed problem: x_{0} C^{\infty} R^{1}\cross\Omega\subset R^{n+1} R^{1}\cross\Omega \Gamma u(x)=f(x) B(x)u(x)=g(x) u(x)=h(x) p\{x, D) (P, B) where x=(x_{0}, x_{1}, \cdots, .x_{n}) , x\in R^{1}\cross\Omega (x_{0}>0) , x\in\Gamma (x_{0}>0) , x\in R^{1}\cross\Omega (x_{0}=O) , D_{j}=-^{1} \frac{\partial}{\partial x_{j}}=\frac{1}{i}\frac{\partial}{\partial x_{j}}\sqrt{-1} and D=(D_{0}, \cdots, D_{n}) . We consider -well-posedness of (P, B) in the follwing sense: DEFINITION 1. 1. The problem (P, B) is said to be -well-posed if there exist positive constants C, T such that for every f\in H_{1}((-\infty, T)\cross\Omega) with f=0(x_{0}<0) , g=0 and h=O , there exists a unique solution u\in H_{1}((-\infty, T) with u=O(x_{0}<0) which satisfifies the inequality: L^{2} L^{2} \cross\Omega) \int_{0}^{T}||u||_{0}^{2} , \Omega dt\leqq C\int_{0}^{T}||f||_{0,12}^{2} dt, where H_{k}(G) is the Sobolev space with its norm . , G . The aim of the present article is, under somewhat strong but general restriction on the operator P, to describe, in terms of the cotangent space , the relations among the coefficients of boundary operator of problem (P, B) . These relations are useful for the B for investigation of the propagation of singularities of solutions for our pr0blems. For example they determine whether there exist lateral waves or not. Applying the relations we prove the existance of the solution of our problem. But in contrast with the recent development of the Cauchy pr0blems, we must essentially use the energy estimate, because of the existance of glancing rays with the associated non-vanishing reflection coefficients in these cases || R^{1}\cross\partial\Omega=\Gamma L^{2}- we11-\overline{p}osed ||_{k} On structures of certain Put L^{2} -well-posed mixed problems for hyperbolic systems 83 respectively and let be the prinx=(x_{0}, x’, x_{n}) . cipal part of P (x, ), where By is a covector of virture of localization and certain coordinate transformations, we may restrict ourselves to the case where C_{\pm}=\{\tau\in C^{1} ; {\rm Im}<>0\} (\tau, \sigma, \lambda) \lambda \tau, \Omega P^{0}(x, \tau, \sigma, \lambda) \sigma, , =R_{+}^{n}=\{(x’, x_{n});x_{n}>0 x’\in R^{n-1}\} R^{1}\cross\Omega =R_{+}^{n+1}=\{(x_{0}, x’, x_{n});x_{n}>0 \Gamma=R^{n}=\{x’\in R^{n+1} ; x_{n}’=O\} , , n\geqq 2 , (x_{0}, x’)\in R^{n}\} , .

Our method deriving Main theorem is applicable to the case where the boundary operator B(x’) is complex. Main theorem is also valid if we and ) instead of the conditions (II) assume the following conditions (II) and ): such that for a point (II) If , for small \gamma>0 there is a double root of \mathcal{T}’ \beta’) \beta) \gamma \beta’) (x^{0}, \tau^{\mathfrak{y}}, \sigma^{0})\in I R(x^{0}, \tau^{0}, \sigma^{0})=O \cross(R^{n}\backslash \{O\}) \det P^{0}(x^{0}, \tau^{0}, \sigma^{0}, \lambda)=O \lambda |R(x^{0}, \tau^{0}-i\gamma, \sigma^{()})|\geq C\gamma^{\frac{1}{2}} . Let us consider R as a funcwith some come constant . Then by the implicit function theorem we can tion of decompose R as C=C(x^{9}, \tau^{0}, \sigma^{0})>0 (x’, \sqrt{\tau-\theta(x’,\sigma)}, \sigma) R(x’, \tau, \sigma)=r(x’, where \sqrt{1}=-1 and for some constant , \sqrt{\tau-\theta(x’,\sigma)} r(x^{0}, O, \sigma^{0})\neq 0 and \sigma ) (\sqrt{\tau-\theta(x’,\sigma)}-D(x’, \sigma) D(x^{0}, \sigma^{0})=0. ) Now we assume that C=C(x^{0}, \tau^{0}, \sigma^{0})>0 {\rm Re} D(x’, \sigma)\geq C({\rm Im} D(x’, \sigma) (1. 2) ) 2 in the case (a), or -{\rm Im} D(x’, \sigma)\geq C in some neighborhood ma 3. 1 respectively.

Here we remark that the conditions (II) and ) imply the conditions (II) and ) when we are restricted to the real case (see subsection 10.2), and that the last condition of (II) and (II) are omitted, if (6. 5) and (10. 6) are satisfied, respectively. It should also be noted that the conditions (I), (II) and (III) are invariant for certain coordinate transformations, hence Main theorem is applicable to problems defined on any smooth . Throughout this article we assume the condition (I). Section 2 and section 3 are a summary of elementary facts which are used in later sections. In section 4, a necessary and sufficient condition for -well-posedness of the constant coefficients problem is shown in terms of ‘coupling’ coefficients. Using it we investigate, in section 5 and 6, the structure of variable coefficients problem under the condition (III). Section 7 is devoted to the estimates of the problems for first order systems. The ideas used there play an essential role in the proof of Theorem 1. 1 which is shown in section 8. Section 9 is concerned with a dual problem to (P, B) . In subsection 10. 1 an example showing the necessity of the condition (II) is presented, and in subsection 10. 2 the generalization to the case where the boundary operator B(x’) is complex valued is considered. Second author lectured the outline about this theme ([12]) and first author gave the proof in detail. Authors are indebted to Dr. R. Agemi for a number of helpful discussion of these problems and for revises of the manuscript. \beta) \beta’) \gamma \gamma’ \gamma’) \beta) R^{1}\cross\Omega L^{2} 2\cross 2 \beta) \S 2.

Moreover, let u, be the set of all of such that there exist distributions U\in H_{p,q;f}(R^{n+1}) with U=u .

Matrix functions in are defined for every called a symbol we associate similarly. With a matrix function , a pseud0-differential operator A (x, D’, ) defined for any vector , by the formula which means that the components of v belong to (x, \xi’, \gamma)\in R_{+}^{n+1}\cross R^{n}\cross R_{+}^{1} S_{+}^{k} A\in S_{+}^{k} v\in H_{s,\gamma}(R^{n}) \gamma H_{s},\cdot(R^{n}) A(x, D’, \gamma)v(x’) = where \tau=\eta-i\gamma and (2 \pi)^{-n}e^{\gamma x_{0}}\int R^{n}e^{ir’ x_{0}+i\sigma x’}A(x, \eta, \sigma, \gamma)\hat{v}(\tau, \sigma)d\eta \xi’=(\eta, \sigma) . Note that if da On strvatures of certai n L^{2} -well-posed mixed problems for hyperbolic systems A(x, \eta, \sigma, \gamma)=A then it holds that if A (x, \tau, \sigma ( x, r, \eta-i \sigma ) 87 =A(x, \tau, \sigma) ) is analytic with respect to \tau , A(x, D’, \gamma)v(x’)=A(x, D’)v(x’) where and A(x, D’) is a usual pseud0-differential operator.

In the present paper, our process of proofs of Main theorem are rging’s sharp carried somewhat long and classically, in order to use the form directly and decompose the original problem into boundary value and R^{n} in which we are interested. problems well defined over Furthermore for the sake of simplicity of description we denote by ) and by operators a (x, D’ ) on H_{r}., the ) the symbols a (x, a (x, corresponding pseud0-differential operators a(x, D’, \gamma) respectivevely. 2. 3. We reduce the global estimate (1. 1) into the micr0-local one as usual ([5]). Since lower order terms of the operator P do not affect the validity of the estimate (1. 1), we have only to consider the boundary value problem : G[mathring]_{a} R_{+}^{n+1} \gamma \eta-i\gamma, \eta, \sigma \sigma, P^{0}(x, D)u(x)=(ED_{n}-A(x, D’))u=f, in R_{+}^{n+1} B(x’)u(x’, 0)=q(x’) , in R^{n} , (P^{0}, B)\{ ) = A( x\} A A(x} and |.E is where the symbol of A(x, D’) is A (x, the 2m\cross 2m identity matrix. be the compact set outside which A_{i}(x)i=O , , First, let n- 1 and B(x’) are constant. Let us take a finite number of points \tau, K\subset R^{n+1} \sigma \tau+\sum_{i=1}^{n-1} \sigma_{i} \cdots On structures of certain L^{2} such that the spheres , where j=1, , j_{0}-1 are a covering of Take a finite partition of unity such that , ., \{x^{j}\}_{j=1} , \cdots 89 -well-posed mixed problems for hyperbolic systems K\cap\Gamma \cdots ; }, is sufficiently small.

(x, we construct the corresponding operators B^{j}(x’) and =A_{0}^{j}(x)\tau+ D)=ED_{n}-A^{j}(x, D’) where the symbol of ) (x, (x, D’ ) i s n-l A ji(x) , which have the following properties: For P^{f} 1\leq j\leq j_{0}-1 A^{j} A^{f} \tau, \sigma \sigma_{i} \sum_{\dot{\iota}=1} (2. 1) (i) A^{j} (ii) A^{j} (iii) A^{j} (x, (x, (x, \tau, \sigma \tau, \sigma \tau, \sigma and ) \in S_{+}^{1} ) =A (x, B^{j}(x’)\in S_{+}^{0},\cdot ) and B^{j}(x’)=B(x’) ) =A(x^{j}, \tau, \sigma) and B^{j}(x’)=B(x^{j}) \tau, \sigma for every for every x\in S_{2\cdot 0}(x^{j}) . x\not\in , S_{\Sigma^{5}0},.(x^{j}) . , is done as follows: Choose a function The construction of , O<\beta_{1}(t)<1 for 1< such that equals 1 for t\leq 1, O for P^{j} B^{j} \beta_{1}(t)\in C^{\infty}(\overline{R_{+}^{1}}) t< \frac{5}{4} . For x\in\overline{R_{+}^{n+1}} t \geq\frac{5}{4} put \overline{x}^{j}(x)=x^{j} \dagger \beta_{1}(|x-x^{j}|/2\epsilon_{0})(x-x^{j}) and let A^{f} (x, \tau, \sigma ) =A(\tilde{x}^{j}(x), , \tau \sigma) ), B^{j}(x’)=B(\overline{x^{j}}(x’)) Then it is seen that these operators satisfy the required properties (2. 1). Now we have the following LEMMA 2. 2. Suppose the condition (III) and that there are constants, the inequalities and C, T_{0}>0 such that for every \gamma\geq\gamma_{0} (2. 2) ||Pj\phi^{j}u||_{0,\gamma}+|B^{j}\phi^{j}u . |_{z}1 ,r u\in H_{1,\gamma}(R_{+}^{n+1}) \geq C\gamma ||\phi^{j}u||_{0} ,f ’ j=1, \cdots , j_{0}-1 , hold. Then the estimate (1. 1) holds for k=O. PROOF. The strict hyperbolicity of P^{J}(x, D) implies that there exist and constants , C>0 such that for every \gamma_{\bigcap_{1}} \gamma\geq\gamma_{0} u\in H_{1,\gamma}(R_{+}^{n+1}) T. Ohkubo and T. Shirota 90 (2. 2. 1) ||P0(x, D)\phi^{j_{0}}u||_{0,r}\geq C\gamma||\phi^{f_{0}}u||_{0,f} From property (2. 1) (ii), it follows that for j=1, P^{j}(\phi^{j}u)=P^{0}(\phi^{j}u)=\phi^{j}P^{0}u+[P^{0}, \phi^{j}] \cdots . , j_{0}-1 u B^{j}(\phi^{j}u)=B(\phi^{j}u)=\phi^{j}Bu in R_{+}^{n+1} on \Gamma . . Furthermore from the condition (III), (1. 1) holds for constant coefficients problems.

PROOF. Since, in the case (a), the choice of the vectors stricted to be real for \mu\geq 0 , Lemma 4. 1 and the condition (II) (i) that \{h_{I}^{f}, h_{II}^{\pm}\} \gamma) are reimply T. Ohkubo and T.

Here note that which were defined in \S 4 by h_{II}^{\pm} are the eigenvectors (h_{II}^{+}, h_{II}^{-})=(h_{II}’, h_{II}’)S_{II}T_{II} and hence are real for \mu\leq 0 that \mu\geq 0 . From Lemma 6. 1 \beta ) (ii) it holds for {\rm Im} Q(x’, \mu, \sigma)=R(\det B’)^{-1}-s_{21} (6_{\tau}.4.1) = (\lambda_{II}^{-}-\lambda_{II}^{+}) (\alpha(b_{IIII}-1))^{-1}--s_{21} . is real If R(x’, \tau, \sigma)=O and \mu\geq O then Q is real at such points, because for \mu\geq 0 by virture of (6. 1). If R(x’, \tau, \sigma)\neq 0 , \mu\geq 0 and b_{IIII}^{-}\neq 1Q is also , , real, because are so. From Lemma 6. 1 ) (ii) we have II and S_{21} \overline{b_{II}} \lambda_{II}^{\pm} \tilde{b_{IIII}}(x^{0}, \alpha S_{21} \alpha \tau^{0}-i\gamma , \sigma^{0}\rangle-1 =-2\sqrt{-i\gamma}(\lambda_{2}\cdot\det B’\cdot\alpha^{-1}) (x^{0}, \tau^{0}-i\gamma, \sigma^{0}) . R^{-1} ( , x^{0} \tau^{0}- -ir, \sigma^{0} ) \iota and the condition (II) Since . Thus we see that Q(x’, \mu, \sigma) tqkes real values imply II . Since Q is analytic in at \mu=O Q always takes real whenever values for real . (ii) Suppose and Q(x’, O, \sigma)=0. Then from (6. 1) and (6. 4. 1) we have R(x’, \theta(x’, \sigma), \sigma)=O . Hence we have only to prove the , then from Theorem converse. Suppose that R (x’, \tau, \sigma)=O and \mu=O . First if \mu<0 , it follows from (6. 1) that 4. 1 and from (i) that Q is real. This contradicts (6. 4. 1). We shall secondly show that R(x’\tau, \sigma)=0 for \mu>0 is also impossible under the condition . From (III). Let be a Lopatinskii determinant of Lemma 6. 3 and Theorem 3 of [11] we easily see the condition (III) implies that for every fixed x’\in U(x^{0}) (\lambda_{2}\cdot\det B’\cdot\alpha^{-1}) (x^{\phi}, \tau^{0}, \sigma^{0})\neq 0 \beta) R(x^{0}, \tau^{0}, \sigma^{0})=O (x^{0}, \check{\tau}^{0}, \sigma^{0})\neq 1 \tilde{b_{II}} \mu\not\geq O \mu \mu \tau=\theta(x’, \sigma) {\rm Im}\tau\leq 0 {\rm Im}\tau= {\rm Im} s_{21}\neq 0 {\rm Im} (P_{II}, Q)_{x^{0}} R_{II}(x^{0}, \tau, \sigma) (6. 4. 2) R_{II}(x’, \tau, \sigma)\neq O for \tau-\theta(x’, \tau) >O (for the case (a) in Lemma 3. 1.) On the other hand we see in \S 4 that M_{II}S_{II}=(\begin{array}{ll}\lambda_{II}^{+} \alpha 0 \lambda_{II}^{-}\end{array}) Hence letting S_{II}^{1} be the first column of S_{II} we obtai n On structures of certain L^{2} 125 -well-posed mixed problems for hyperbolic systems R_{II}(x’, \tau, \sigma)=(Q, 1 (6. 4. 3) ) S_{II}^{1} =Q +s_{21}=R(\det B’)^{-1} where the last equality follows from (6. 4. 1). Thus (6. 4. 2) and (6. 4. 3) imply that R(x’, \tau, \sigma)\neq 0 for \mu=\tau-\theta(xf, \sigma)>0 from which we obtain If \mu=O and \mu=O . Q(x’, O, \sigma)\neq 0 R ( x’ , \theta(xf, \sigma) , \sigma)= then we have from (6. 1) and (6. 4. 1) Q(x’, O, \sigma)(\det B’)(x’, O, \sigma)\neq O . This is a contradiction, hence Q(x’, O, \sigma)=O holds. Thus the proof of (ii) is completed. LEMMA 6. 5. Assume the conditions (II) , and {III).

The condition (III) together with Lemma 6. 3 implies (6. 4. 2). On the other hand we have from (6. 4. 3) and (6. 1) R_{II} (x’, \tau, \sigma)=Q+\mu s_{1}^{(1)}+\sqrt{\mu}s_{2} Regarding our convention Then we see (6. 5. 1) \sqrt{1}=-1 . we consider the equation R_{II}=O . \sqrt{\mu}S_{2}(x’, 0, \sigma)=-Q(x’, 0, \sigma)+r(x’, \sqrt{\mu}, \sigma)\mu is an analytic function in where such that exists a sequence r(x’, \sqrt{\mu}, \sigma) \sqrt{\mu} .

Assume that gr” ad(x\sigma) Q(x^{0}, O, \sigma^{0})\neq 0 and for simplicity let \frac{\partial Q}{\partial x_{0}}(x^{0}, O, \sigma^{0})\neq 0 t Then from the implicit function theorem we have Q(x’, O, \sigma)=(x_{0}-c_{1}(x’, \sigma) ) c_{2}(x’, \sigma) and , are real, because Q(x’, O , in (x’, \sigma) , where is . is real. This contradicts Lemma 6. 5, hence such that Furthermore the same argument is valid for the points Q(x’, O, \sigma)=0. Hence the corollary is proved. REMARK 6. 1. In the case (b) in Lemma 3. 1 the discussions of Lemma 6. 4 and 6. 5 are also valid. In this case the conclusion of Lemma 6. 5 becomes -Q(x, O, \sigma)\leq 0 . REMARK 6. 2.

Hence we have for such a point R(x’, \tau, \sigma)=\sqrt{\mu}(\sqrt{\mu}c_{0}+\sqrt{\mu}s_{1}^{(1)}+s_{2})\cdot\det B’ , Hence (6. 6. 2) |R(x’, \tau, \sigma)|\leq C|\tau-\theta(xf, \sigma)|^{1}z=C\gamma^{1}2 where C>0 and \tau=\eta-i\gamma (6. 6^{\theta}.3) , . On the other hand {\rm Im}\lambda_{II}^{+}(x’, \eta-i\gamma, \sigma)\leq C\gamma^{\frac{1}{2}} with some C>0 . Hence it follows from (6. 6. 1), (6. 6. 2) and (6. 6. 3) that \det(V_{I}^{+}, V_{k}^{-}, V_{III}^{+})(x’, \eta, \sigma)=O,\cdot k\in I_{-} , which implies our assersion (i). (ii) From Theorem 4. 1 it holds that |\det (V_{I}^{+}, \cdots,\check{V}_{I}’f,, \cdots, V_{l-1}^{+}, V_{I1}’, V_{III}^{+})(x’, \eta-i\gamma, \sigma)| \leq C\{x’ , . for j\in I_{+} j\in I_{+} . , \sigma^{0} ) |{\rm Im}\lambda_{II}^{-}(x’, \eta-i\gamma, \sigma)|^{\not\in} |R(x’, \eta-i\gamma, \sigma)| .

Theorefore Q(x’, O, \sigma)=O on Y=O, where (6. 7. 1) is valid. Furthermore from the above form of Q(x’, O, \sigma) we see that it satisfies (6. 5). Thus we see our assertions. \S 7.

Hence the assertion of Lemma 7. 4 follows from Lemma 2. 1 ). REMARK 7. 1. It is seen from the above proof and (7. 12) that the assertion of Theorem 7. 1 is also valid if it satisfies (7. 1. 1) and \beta d_{1}(-2{\rm Re} Q+(1+\epsilon’e_{12})^{-1}(e_{11}-e_{22})\epsilon’)+d_{2}(|Q|^{2}+(1+\epsilon’e_{12})^{-1}e_{21}\epsilon’)\geq O for any (x’, \epsilon’, \mathcal{T}’) in a real neighborhood U of (x^{0}, O, \sigma^{0}) such that (\epsilon’+\theta\{xf , \gamma’))^{2}+|\sigma’|^{2}\leq 1. over U, we see Furthermore using with some that the above condition is equivalent to that on U if |Q|^{2}+ in the case (a), which follow on U. from that k\in S_{+}^{0} (\begin{array}{ll}1 kO 1\end{array})M_{II}(\begin{array}{ll}1 kO 1\end{array}) {\rm Re} Q\leq 0 (1 + \epsilon’ e_{12})^{-1}e_{21} \epsilon’=O {\rm Re} D(x’, \sigma’)\geq O \S 8. The proof of Theorem 1. 1 In \S 6 and the latter part of \S 5 we have tried to analyse how the -well-posedness of the freezing problem dominates the relations among the coefficients of the boundary operator. In this section we prove (1. 1) on the base of that analysis in three subsections. In order to prove (1. 1) for k=0 we have only to show (3. 4) whether the set II is empty or not. In subsection 8. 1 we prove (3. 4) by the consideration in \S 5, for the case where the set II is empty. In subsection 8. 2 we do so by that in \S 6 together with the methods used in \S 7, for the case where the set II is in (3. 4) on support of does not empty. Note that the dependence of not affect the validity of Lemma 3. 3. The proof of (1. 1) for k\geq 1 is given in subsection 8. 3. 8. 1.

Combining this with (8. 1) we obtain (3. 4). 8. 2. In this subsection we prove (3. 4) in the case where the set II the proof is the same as that in [7], is not empty.

Putting x_{0}=-x_{0} in following problem : for every \gamma\geq\gamma_{k} , v\in H_{k,-r}(R_{+}^{n+1}) P^{(*)}(x, D)v=\phi (P^{(*)}, B^{(*)})\{ B^{(*)}(x’)v(x’, 0)=\psi (P’, B’) in on we consider the R_{+}^{n+1} R^{n} , , where we put P^{(*)}(x_{0}, x’, x_{n} ; D_{0}, D’, D_{n})=P’(-x_{0}, x’, x_{n} ; -D_{0}, D’, D_{n}) (9. 4) = \{ B^{(*)}(x_{0}, x’)=B’(-x_{0}, x’) EDn-tA (-x_{0}, x’, x_{n} ; -D_{0}, D’) , . From (9. 4) and the proof of Theorem 1. 1 it suffices to show that each of the assumptions (I), (II) and (III) for (P^{0}, B) implies the same for (P^{(*)} , B^{(*)}) respectively. Note that the characteristic equation is \det P^{(*)}(x_{0}, x’, x_{n} ; \tau, \sigma, \lambda) (9. 5) ) ) = \det = \det (E\lambda-A(-x_{0}, x’, x_{n} ; -\tau, \sigma) = \det (E\lambda-A_{0}(-x_{0}, x’, x_{n})(-\eta+i\gamma) (E\lambda-{}^{t}A(-x_{0}, x’, x_{n} ; -\tau, \sigma) - \sum_{f=1}^{n-1}A_{f}(-x_{0}, x’, x_{n})\sigma_{j} =O . ) On structures of certain -well-posed mixed problems for hyperbolic systems L^{2} 147 Then it is easy to show that the condition (I) is fulfilled for (P^{(*)}, B^{(*)}) . Since (P^{0}, B) , are so, the condition are equivalent and (P’, B’) , (P^{0}, B) (III) for together with (9. 1) and (9. 4) implies the same for (P^{(*)} , (Theorem 2 of [8].) Therefore we have only to show that the condition (II) is fulfilled for (P^{(*)}, B^{(*)}) . First we seek the Lopatinskii determinant and coupling coefficients for (P^{(*)}, B^{(*)}) . Put (\tilde{P}^{0}, E_{1}) (\tilde{P}’, E_{2}) B^{(*)}) S_{0}(x, \tau, \sigma)=(h_{I}^{+}, h_{II}^{+}, h_{III}^{+}, h_{I}^{-}, h_{II}’, h_{III}^{-}),\cdot (9. 6) (B_{+}, B_{2})(x’, \tau, \sigma)=B(x’)S_{0}(x’, O, \tau, \sigma) is a 2 m\cross 2m matrix and where holds that S_{0} B_{+} \lambda II+ 1 , B_{2} are . ..... .... \ldots , matrices. Then it m\cross m \alpha M_{III}^{+}..O\lambda_{I}^{-} (S_{0}^{-1}AS_{0})(x, \tau, \sigma)= \backslash \cdot\lambda_{I}^{+}0 \lambda_{II}^{-}..\cdot.\cdot..\cdot.M_{III}^{-]}0 , (b_{ij})(x’, \tau, \sigma)=(B_{+})^{-1}B_{2} Hence we have (S_{0}^{*}A^{*}(S_{0}^{*})^{-1})(x, \tau, \sigma)=(\begin{array}{llllll}\lambda_{I}^{+} 0 \overline{A_{II}^{\neg+}} \vdots (M_{III}^{+})^{*} \vdots O \overline{\lambda_{I}^{-}} 0 \overline{\alpha} \cdots \cdots \overline{\lambda_{II}^{-}} (M_{III}^{-})^{*}\end{array}\}- Put (9. 7) (B_{2}’, B_{+}’)(x’, \tau, \sigma)=B’(x’)(S_{0}^{*})^{-1}(x’, O, \tau, \sigma) , are m\cross m matrices. Then we see that the Lopatinskii where determinant and coupling coefficients of (P^{(*)}, B^{(*)}) are B_{+}’ B_{2}’ R^{(*)} (x_{0}, x’, \tau, \sigma)=\det B_{+}’(-x_{0}, x’, -\overline{\tau}, \sigma) , (9. 8) (b_{ij}^{(*)})(x_{0}, x’, \tau, \sigma)=((B_{+}’)^{-1}B_{2}’)(-x_{0}, x’, -\overline{\tau}, \sigma) respectively. Now we show the following two lemmas. LEMMA 9. 1. For the quantities defifined above the following hold: T. Ohkubo and T. Shirota 148 (i) \overline{R^{(*)}(x_{0},x’,\tau,\sigma)} . \det B_{2}(-x_{0}, x’, -\overline{\tau}, \sigma) =-R( xO, x’, -\overline{\tau}, \sigma) (ii) \cdot\det\overline{B_{2}’(-x_{0},x’,-\overline{\tau},\sigma)} (b_{i}.(\begin{array}{l}*j\end{array}) )(x_{0}, x’, \tau, \sigma)=-\overline{(b_{j_{\sigma}^{}})(-x_{0},x’,-\overline{\tau},\sigma)} , . ProoF. From (9. 2) we have B(B’)^{*}=Ot Hence it follows from (9. 6) and (9. 7) that O=(BS_{0}S_{0}^{-1}(B’)^{*})(-x_{0}, x’, O, -\overline{\tau}, \sigma) = (B_{+}, B_{2}) (B’(S_{0}^{*})^{-1})^{*}=(B_{+}, B_{2}) =B_{+}(B_{2}’)^{*}+B_{2}(B_{+}’)^{*} (\begin{array}{l}(B_{2}’)^{*}(B_{+}’)^{*}\end{array}) . This implies (i). Furthermore we have (b_{\dot{\iota}f})(-x_{0}, x’, -\overline{\tau}, \sigma)=(B_{+})^{-1}B_{2}(-x_{0}, x’, -\overline{\tau}, \sigma) =-((B_{+}’)^{-1} . ) B_{2}’ (-x_{0}, x’, -\overline{\tau}, \sigma) . =-(b_{ij}^{(*)}.)^{*}(x_{0}, x’, \tau, \sigma) This shows (ii) and completes the proof of the lemma. and LEMMA9.2. The zeroes of . coincide in PROOF. Let us consider the following constant coefficients problems : with parameters R^{(*)} (x_{0}, x’, \tau, \sigma) R(-x_{0}, x’, -\overline{\tau}, \sigma) \Gamma\cross\overline{C_{/}}-\cross R^{n-1} (\tau, \sigma)\in C_{-}\cross R^{n-1} (\tilde{P}^{0}, E_{1})_{x^{0}}\{ ( ED_{n}-\tilde{A}(x^{0}, \tau, \sigma) ) \tilde{u}=O (E_{1},0)\tilde{u}=\tilde{g} (ED_{n}-\overline{{}^{t}A}(x^{0}, \overline{\tau}, \sigma))v\sim=O (\tilde{P}’, E_{2})_{x^{0}}\{ (0, E2) v\sim=\psi in on in on x_{n}>0 , x_{n}=O , x_{n}>O , x_{n}=O , \cdot where \tilde{A}(x, \tau, \sigma)=T^{-1}(x’)A(x, \tau, \sigma)T(x’) , {}^{t}\tilde{A}(x, \overline{\tau}, \sigma)=T^{*}(x’)tA(x, \overline{\tau}, \sigma)(T^{*}(x’))^{-1} =T^{*}(x’) A^{*}(x, \tau, \sigma) (T^{*}(x’))^{-1} be exponentially decaying solutions of respectively. Then it holds that Let \tilde{u} and \tilde{v} (\tilde{P}^{0}, E_{1})_{x^{0}} O=((ED_{n}-\tilde{A})\tilde{u},\tilde{v})-(\tilde{?l}, (ED_{n}-\tilde{{}^{t}A})\tilde{v}) (9. 2. 1) =i/\backslash u(O) , \tilde{v}(O)_{/}^{\backslash }=i(_{\backslash }^{/}\tilde{g},\tilde{v}_{1}(O)_{/}^{\backslash }+\tilde{u}_{2}(/O)\backslash ’ \psi /). and (\tilde{P}’, E_{2})_{x^{0}} , On structures of certain L^{2} 149 -well-posed mixed problems for hyperbolic systems On the other hand we see that the fact (9. 2. 2) R(x^{0}, \tau^{0}, \sigma^{0})\neq 0 for some (\tau^{0}, \sigma^{0})\in is equivalent to that there exist a constant such that for every solution of (\tau, \sigma)\in U(\tau^{0}, \sigma^{0})\cap C_{0} \overline{\overline{C}}_{-}\cross R^{n-1} and a neighborhood , and exponetially decaying U(\tau^{0}, \sigma^{0}) (C_{-}\cross R^{n-1}) \tilde{g} (\tilde{P}^{0}, E_{1})_{x^{0}} \tilde{u} | . u_{2}(\tau, \sigma, O)|\leq C_{0}|\overline{g}| Hence if (9. 2. 2) is valid we have from (9. 2. 1) |v_{1}( \overline{\tau}, \sigma, 0)|=\sup_{\tilde{g}}\frac{|_{\backslash }^{/}\tilde{g},\tilde{v}_{1}(O)_{/}^{\backslash }|}{|\tilde{g}|} – \sup_{\tilde{g}}\frac{|_{\backslash }^{/}\tilde{u}_{2}(0),\psi_{/}^{\backslash }|}{|\tilde{g}|}\leq C_{0}|\psi| , and exponentially decaying is , where . This implies or (P’, B’)_{x^{0}} for determinant of , is arbitrary we see that R(x’, \tau, \sigma)\neq 0 , . The converse is also valid by the same discussion view of (9. 4) and for every \tau\in U(\tau^{0}, \sigma^{0})\cap(C_{-}\cross R^{n}) (\tilde{P}’, E_{2})_{x^{0}} (\tilde{P}’, E_{2})_{x^{0}} \tau^{0} \overline{\tau} \sigma^{0})\in I R’(x’,\overline{\tau}, \sigma) R’(x^{0}, \tau^{0}, \sigma^{0})\neq O of solution a Lopatinskii , Since implies R’(x’ , as above. In \tilde{v} (x^{0} (x’, \overline{\tau}, \sigma)\in\Gamma\cross\overline{0_{y}}\cross R^{n-1}+\cdot \cross\overline{C}_{-}\cross R^{n-1} \sigma)\neq 0 R’(-x_{0}, x’, -\tau, \sigma)=R^{(*)}(x_{0}, x’, \tau, \sigma) , we obtain the lemma. Now we show the condition (II) for (P^{(*)}, B^{(*)}) . If the characteristic , then in equation (9. 5) has a double root at only on the a neighborhood of the point (9. 5) has a real double root surface \lambda (x_{0}, x’, x_{n} ; \tau^{0}, \sigma^{0})\in\Gamma\cross R^{n} \lambda (9. 9) \tau=-\theta(-x_{0}, x’, x_{n} ; \sigma) . i s empty for the point If the set II fo r . is so for the point then that for (II) : Let be a point for which the set II for i s empty. From Lemma 9. 1 we have for every j, k\leq m P^{(*)} (x_{0}, x’, x_{n} ; \tau^{0}, \sigma^{0})\in I P^{0} \alpha) \cross Rn, (-x_{0}, x’, x_{n} ; -\tau^{0}, \sigma^{0}) (x^{0}, \tau^{0}, \sigma^{0})\in I \cross R^{n} P^{(*)} R^{(*)} (x_{0}, x’, \tau, \sigma) (9. 10) . \frac{k}{\det(V_{1}^{+},\cdots,V_{j}^{-},\cdots,V_{m}^{+})}(-x_{0}, x’, -\overline{\tau}, \sigma) – =-\overline{R(-x_{0},x’,-\overline{\tau},\sigma)} . \det j (W_{1}^{+}, \cdots,\check{W}_{k}^{-}, \cdots, W_{m}^{+})(x_{0}, x’, \tau, \sigma) where (V_{1}^{+}, \cdots, V_{m}^{+}, V_{1}^{-}, \cdots, V_{m}^{-})(-x_{0}, x’, -\overline{\tau}, \sigma) =(BS) (-x_{0}, x’, -\overline{\tau}, \sigma) , T. Ohkubo and T. Shirota 150 (W_{1}^{-}, \cdots, W_{m}^{-}, W_{1}^{+}, \cdots, W_{m}^{+})(x_{0}, x’, \tau, \sigma) =(B’ (S*) -1) (-x_{0}, x’, -’\overline{\tau}, \sigma)\uparrow Assume that for all j, k\leq m \det (W_{1}^{+}, \cdots,\check{W}_{k}^{-}j, \cdot.., W_{m}^{+})(x^{0}, \tau^{0}, \sigma^{0})=O . Note that it holds that for all j, i\leq m \det (W_{1}^{+}, \cdots,\check{W}_{i}^{+}j, \cdots, W_{m}^{+})(x^{0}, \tau^{0}, \sigma^{0})=0 . Since rank we obtain for every v_{i}\in R^{m} \det (v_{1}, \cdots, v_{m})=O . This is a contradiction. Hence there exist indeces \det Since , (W_{1}^{+}, \cdots, W_{m}^{+}, W_{1}^{-}, \cdots, W_{m}^{-})(x^{0}, \tau^{0}, \sigma^{0})=m j_{0} , k_{0}(\leq m) such that (W_{1}^{+}, \cdots,\check{W}_{k_{0}}^{-}j_{0}, \cdots, W_{m}^{+})(x^{0}, \tau^{0}, \sigma^{0})\neq 01 R(-x_{0}, x’, -\overline{\tau}, \sigma) is not identically zero, (9. 10) for (j_{0}, k_{0}) implies k_{0} that \det small \gamma>O (V_{1}^{+}, \cdots, \check{V}_{j_{0}}^{-}, \cdots, V_{m}^{+}) i s not identically ze ro . Hence w e obtain for |R(*)(x_{0},x’,\tau^{0}-i\gamma,\sigma^{0})|\geq C|R(-x_{0},x’, -\tau^{0}-ir,\sigma^{0})|\geq Cr with some C=C(x_{0}, x’, \tau^{0}, \sigma^{0})>0 , where the last inequality follows from for (P^{0}, B) . the condition (II) (II) : Let be a point for which the set II for . is not empty. By the same method as in the proof of (II) we have (P^{0}, B) for the order relation : from (II) \alpha) \beta) (x^{0}, \tau^{0}, \sigma^{0})\in I \cross R^{n} P^{(*)} \alpha) \beta) |R(*)(x^{0}, \tau^{0}-i\gamma, \sigma^{0})|\geq C\mathcal{T}^{1}z1 Hence it follows from Lemma 6. 1 \beta ) (i) that \det(B^{(*)})’(x^{0}, \tau^{0}, \sigma^{0})\neq 0 . On the other hand we see from Lemma 9. 1 b_{IIII}^{(*)}(x_{0}, x’, \tau, \sigma)=\frac{\det(B^{(*)})’}{R^{(*)}}=-(\overline{\frac{\det B’}{R}}) Since from Lemma 6. 1 \beta ) (i) \det B’(-x^{0}, -\tau^{0}, \sigma^{0})\neq 0 , \cdot . On structures of certain L^{2} -well-posed mixed problems for hyperbolic systems 151 we obtain (9. 11) R^{(*)}(x_{0}, x’, \tau, \sigma)=- C(x’, \tau, \sigma) \cdot\overline{R(-x_{0},x’,-\overline{\tau},\sigma)} , where C(x’, \tau, \sigma)=\det (B^{(*)})’(\det B’)^{-1}\neq 0 . Hence from (9. 9) we see that the second part of the condition (II) are valid for (P^{(*)}, B^{(*)}) . (II) : We can define the reflection coefficients for (P^{(*)}, B^{(*)}) by the same way as in (9. 8). Then we see that \beta) \gamma) \tilde{b_{i}} (b_{ij}^{\tilde{(*})})(x_{0}, x’, \tau, \sigma)=-(\overline{b_{fi}^{-})(-x_{0},x’,-\overline{\tau},\sigma)} as in Lemma 9. 1. Hence if is real then is real. This implies (II) . Thus Theorem 9. 1 is proved. From (9. 1), Theorem 1. 1 and Theorem 9. 1 w e obtain the -wellposedness of (P, B) in half space which is described in the following form (Theorem 1 and Remarks 1 of [8] applied to first order system.): THEOREM 9. 2. Assume the conditions (/), (//), and (III) for hdf space and \Gamma=R^{n} .

Remarks on the conditions (I )\mbox{\boldmath $\beta$}) and . for x_{0}\leq T. (I )\mbox{\boldmath $\gamma$}). 10. 1. We remark in this subsection that the condition (II) -) is necessary for the case where (P, B) is a second order problem with real constant coefficients. This interesting fact is proved by R. Agemi using [2]. Let us consider the following second order problem of real constant coefficients : \beta in ( \frac{\partial^{2}}{\partial t^{2}}-\Delta)u=(D_{n}^{2}-(D_{0}^{2}-\sum_{j=1}^{n-1}D_{f}^{2}))u(x)=f (\square , B) , \{ on Bu|_{\Gamma}=(D_{n}- \sum_{j=1}^{n-1}b_{f}D_{j}-cD_{0})u(x’, O)=g(x’) where R_{+}^{n+1} D_{0}=-i \frac{\partial}{\partial t} . By virture of the transformation: v_{1}(x)=\Lambda u we have the following equivalent and v_{2}(x)=D_{n}u 2\cross 2 system , (\square , Q) : \Gamma=R^{n} , T. Ohkubo and T. Shirota 152 P(D_{n})\hat{v}=[E_{II}D_{n}-\Lambda_{r}(\begin{array}{ll}0 1-(-\tau^{2}+|\sigma|^{2})\Lambda_{\overline{r}}^{2} 0\end{array})](\begin{array}{l}\hat{v}_{1}\hat{v}_{2}\end{array}) (\coprod, Q) =\{\begin{array}{l}0\hat{f}\end{array}\} (x_{n}) Q\partial_{1}(O)+\hat{v}_{2}(O)=\hat{g} where lem for , , , Q( \tau, \sigma)=-(j\sum_{-}^{n-1}b_{f}\sigma_{f}+c\tau)-1\Lambda_{\gamma}^{-1} (\coprod, Q) x_{n}>0 (x_{n}) . Lopatinskii determinant R of the prob- is R(\tau, \sigma)=(Q, 1 ) \cdot{}^{t}(\Lambda_{\gamma}, \lambda_{II}^{+}) (10. 1) =( \lambda_{II}^{+}-(\sum_{j=1}^{n- 1} b . \Lambda_{\overline{r}}^{1} j\sigma j+c\tau )) \Lambda_{\overline{r}}^{1} . where (\sqrt{1}=-1.) \lambda_{11}^{\pm}(\tau, \sigma)=\pm\sqrt{\tau^{2}-|\sigma|^{2}} Apply \square to Lemma 3. 1 then we have (the case (a)), \mu=\mu(\tau, \sigma)=\tau-|\sigma| . Since the problem hence we have (I), we have the following \theta(\sigma)=|\sigma| LEMMA 10. 1. \mu(\tau^{0}, \sigma^{0})=\tau^{0}-|\sigma^{0}|=O felfills the condition Assume the condition {III). Let . Then it holds that and R(\tau^{0}, \sigma^{0})=O where \sigma^{0}\neq 0 (10. 2) ProoF. (\coprod, B) c^{2}= \sum_{f=1}^{n-1}b_{j}^{2} . Since we have from (10. 1) (10. 1. 1) R(\tau^{0}, \sigma^{0})=R(|\sigma^{0}|, \sigma^{0}) =-( \sum_{f=1}^{n-1}bj\sigma^{0}f+c |\sigma^{0}| ) \Lambda_{\overline{r}}^{1}=O , we see from Corollary 6. 2 and (6. 7. 2) that grad R ( (10. 1. 2) \theta(\sigma^{0}) , \sigma^{0})= grad R(|\sigma^{0}|, \sigma^{0} ) =-((b_{1}+c \frac{\sigma_{1}^{0}}{|\sigma^{0}|}), \cdots , (b_{n-1}+c \frac{\sigma_{n-1}^{0}}{|\sigma^{0}|}))\Lambda_{f}^{-1} =O . Hence if c=O we have b_{j}=O for all j=1, from (10. 1. 1) and (10. 1. 2) that c^{2}= \sum_{j=1}^{n1}b_{f}^{2} . \cdots , n –1. If c\neq O , it follows On structures of certain L^{2} -well-posed mixed problems for hyperbolic systems 153 This proves the lemma. Next we show that the condition (II) is necessary for the problem (\coprod, Q) to be -well-posed: THEOREM 10. 1. Under the same assumptions as in Lmma 10. 1, we have \beta) L^{2} co\dim\{(x’, \sigma)\in R^{n}\cross R^{n-1} = rank ; R(\theta(\sigma), \sigma^{0} He,ss(x,\sigma)R(\theta(\sigma^{0}), \sigma)=O\} ) for c\neq 0 , for c=O . \int^{=n-2} , 1=0, ProoF. From (10. 1. 2) we have \frac{\partial^{2}R}{\partial\sigma_{j}\partial\sigma_{k}} ( \theta(\sigma) , \sigma)=-c\frac{\partial}{\partial\sigma_{f}}(\frac{\sigma_{k}}{|\sigma|})\Lambda_{f}^{1} c \sigma_{k}(\frac{+\sigma_{j}}{|\sigma|^{3}})\Lambda_{\gamma}^{-1} for j\neq k for j=k . , =\{ c( \frac{-1}{|\sigma|}+\frac{\sigma_{j}\sigma_{k}}{|\sigma|^{3}}) \Lambda_{\overline{r}}^{1} Hence He_{Gss}R(\theta(\sigma), = \frac{+c}{|\sigma|^{3}} \sigma ) (\begin{array}{lllll} \sigma_{1}-|\sigma| \sigma_{1}\sigma_{2} \sigma_{1}\sigma_{n-1} \vdots \sigma_{2}^{2}-|a|^{2}. \sigma_{2}\cdot\sigma_{1} t \sigma \vdots\sigma \sigma^{2} -|\sigma|^{2}\end{array}) \Lambda_{\overline{r}}^{1} n-l If c=0 rank If c\neq 0 He” ss(x\sigma)(\theta(\sigma), \sigma)=O . this matrix has the eigenvalues \underline{-c|\sigma|^{-1},\cdots}\underline{-c|\sigma|^{-1}}, , O (see n-2 Hence rank Put He” ss(x\sigma)R(\theta(\sigma^{0}), \sigma^{0})=n-2 . \S 4 in [2].) T. Ohkuho and T. Shirota 154 M_{R}=\{(x’, \sigma)\in R^{n}\cross R^{n-1} ; =R^{n}\cross\{\sigma\in R^{n-1} we have from Lemma 10. 1 that It follows from If^{1}c=0 ; R(\theta(\sigma), \sigma)=O\} \sum_{j=1}^{n-1}b_{j}\sigma_{j}+c|\sigma|=O\}\uparrow b_{i}=O and hence M_{R}=R^{2n-1} . Let c\neq 0 . R(\theta(\sigma), \sigma)=0 c^{2}| \sigma|^{2}=(\sum_{f=1}^{n-1}b_{j}\sigma_{j})^{2} Hence from (10. 2) we have | \sigma|^{2}(\sum_{j=1}^{n-1}b_{j}^{2})=(\sum_{j=1}^{n-1}b_{j}\sigma_{j})^{2},\cdot i.e . |\sigma| where (10. 1. 1) that b={}^{t}(b_{1}, \cdots, b_{n-1}) .

Hence \dim M_{R}=n+1 (also, in the case c<0 ) for fixed b . Therefor we obtain co\dim M_{R}=n-2=rankHess\sigma R(\theta(\sigma^{0}), \sigma^{0}) , for c\neq 0 . Thus the proof is completed. 10. 2. This subsection is devoted to the generalization of our Main theorem to the case where the boundary operator B(x’) is complex. Since the condition (II) has an essential meaning in the case where B is real, and ) described in \S 1 instead of (II) we consider the conditions (II) and ). Throughout this subsection, we assume the condition (I) with complex valued B and assume all symbols are homogeneous of order 0. and (6. 4. 3) it follows that for From (II) , x’\in U\{X) \gamma) \gamma’ \beta’) \beta) \gamma (\tau, \sigma)\in\overline{\Sigma_{-\cap}}U(\tau^{0}, \sigma^{0}) \beta’) (10. 3) R_{II}(x’, \tau, \sigma)=(r_{1}(x’, \mu, \sigma)+\sqrt\overline{\mu}r_{2}(x’, \mu, \sigma) ) (\sqrt{\mu}-D(x’, \sigma) ), where and are smooth and . Furthermore let Q be the function defined in Lemma 6. 1 ) (i) . Then it follows from (6. 4. 3) and (6. 1) that is real if Q is real and is real or pure imaginary in the case (a) or (b), respectively. Applying implicit function theorem to (10. 3) we see from Lemma 6. 4 (i) that (II) and ) imply that |D is real or pure imaginary in the case (a) or (b), respectively. This shows that (II) is fulfilled. Since it follows from (6. 4. 3) that (II) and ) imply (II) , we see that (II) implies (II) and ).

Using the notations in Lemma 3. 1 and (7.1) Q is written in the form : except terms with respect to \gamma Q(x’, \mu, \sigma)=(2^{-1}(1+e_{12}\epsilon)^{-1}(e_{11}-e_{22})+r_{2})\epsilon in the case (a), -((1+e_{12}\epsilon)^{-1}\lambda_{2}+r_{2}D)D \{ or -(-i(1+e_{12}\epsilon)^{-1}\lambda_{2}’+r_{2}D) D in the case (b) respectively. Proof. It follows from (6. 1), (6. 4. 3) and (10. 3) that Q=(r_{1}+\sqrt{\mu}r_{2})(\sqrt{\mu}-D)-(\mu s_{1}^{(1)}+\sqrt{\mu}s_{2}) s =-r_{1}D+\mu r_{2}-\mu 1(1)+ (r_{1}- Since Q is analytic in \mu \sqrt{\mu} . we have r_{1}-r_{2}D-s_{2}=0 Since r_{2}D-s_{2}) , Q=-r_{1}D+\mu r_{2}-\mu s_{1}^{(1)} =(r_{2}-s_{1}^{(1)})\mu-(r_{2}D+s_{2}) D. This together with (3. 1), (3. 3), (6. 1) and (7. 1) implies the lemma. Put Q^{(0)}=Q(x’, O, \sigma) and 7. 4. Then we see from Lemma 10. 2 that Q^{(1)}= \frac{\partial Q}{\partial\mu}(x’, O, \sigma) =-(\lambda_{2}^{(0)} (x’, \sigma)+r_{2}^{(0)}(x’., \sigma) Q^{(0)}\{ as in the proof of Lemma D(x’, \sigma) ) Dx’ , or =-(-i(\lambda_{2}’)^{(0)} (x’, \sigma)+r_{2}^{(0)}(x’, \sigma) D(x’, \sigma) (10. 4) \sigma) ) D(x’, \sigma) , Q^{(1)}=(2^{-1}(e_{11}^{(0)}-e_{22}^{(0)})+r_{2}^{(0)})(x’, \sigma) e_{12}^{(0)}-\lambda_{2}^{(1)}-r_{2}^{(1)}D)(x’, \sigma)\cdot D(x’, \sigma) \int_{or}^{+(\lambda_{2}^{(0)}} [ +(-i(\lambda_{2}’)^{(0)}e_{12}^{(0)}+i(\lambda_{2}’)^{(1)}-r_{2}^{(1)}D)(x’, \sigma)\cdot D(x’, \sigma) , in the case (a) and (6) with the same kind of notations as and respectively. Now Theorem 7. 1 is generalized in the following and (III). Thm the THEOREM 10. 2. Assume the conditions (II) , Q^{(0)} Q^{(1)} \alpha) \beta’) conclusion of Theorem 7. 1 is valid. PROOF. We have only to show that Lemma 7. 4 is valid under the conditions of this theorem. We see from the proof of Lemma 7. 4 that T. Ohhibo and T. Shirota 156 it Let us to show that the expression (7. 4. 7) is non-negative. in the right of (7. 4. 7): the coefficient of suffiffiffices_{arrow} consider d_{1} k_{4} \{-2k_{3}{\rm Re} Q^{(0)}+({\rm Im} Q^{(0)})^{2}(2{\rm Re} Q^{(1)}-(e_{11}^{(0)}-e_{22}^{(0)})) (10. 5) + ({\rm Re} Q^{(0)})^{2}(2{\rm Re} Q^{(1)}-(e_{11}^{(0)}-e_{22}^{(0)}))\}k_{3}+O(|Q^{(0)}|^{3}) Use (10. 4), the relation case (a) to =k_{3} +2 k_{3}=e_{21}^{(0)}+2{\rm Re}\overline{Q^{(1)}}Q^{(0)} . , then the above equals in the \{2(\lambda_{2}^{(0)}{\rm Re} D+{\rm Re} r_{2}^{\prime 0)}D^{2})(e_{21}^{(0)}+2{\rm Re}\overline{Q^{(1)}}Q^{(0)}) (\lambda_{2}^{(0)}{\rm Im} D+{\rm Im} r_{2}^{(0)}D^{2})^{2}{\rm Re}(r_{2}^{(0)}+D(\lambda_{2}^{(0)}e_{12}^{(0)}-\lambda_{2}^{(1)}-r_{2}^{(1)}D))\} +0 (({\rm Re} D)^{2})+O(|D|^{3}) . Since e_{21}^{(0} ) =(\lambda_{2}^{(0)})^{2} e_{21}^{(0)} it holds that {\rm Re} r_{2}^{(0)}D^{2}+ (\lambda_{2}^{(0)} {\rm Im} D+{\rm Im} r_{2}^{(0)}D^{2})^{2}{\rm Re} r_{2}^{(0)} = (e_{21}^{(0)} {\rm Re} r_{2}^{(0}) {\rm Re} D-2e_{21}^{(0)}{\rm Im} r_{2}^{(0)} {\rm Im} D){\rm Re} D+O(|D|^{3}) . Hence (10. 5) equals to =2k_{3}^{2}\lambda_{2}^{(0)} {\rm Re} D+O(|D|){\rm Re} D+O(|D|^{3}) . In the case (b), we see by the same way that (10. 5) equals to =2k_{3}^{2}(\lambda_{2}’)^{(0)}{\rm Im} D+O(|D|){\rm Im} D+O(|D|^{3}) . Therefore it is non-negative (or non-positive in the case (b)) in a sufficiently . Moreover from , because of the condition (II) small U(x^{0})\cross U(\sigma^{0}) \beta’) (10. 4) we have |Q^{0}|^{4}=O(|D|^{4}) . Consequently, we see that there exist real such that (7. 4. 7) is satisfying (7. 1. 1) and a neighborhood U(x^{0})\cross U(\sigma^{0}) d_{1} non-negative. Thus the theorem is proved. Using the above theorem let us generalize Theorem 1. 1: and {III). Then THEOREM 10. 3. Assume the conditions (II) , , the conclusion of Theorem 1. 1 is valid for complex valued B(x’) . , it follows from the condition and PROOF. Since is equivalent to \mu=O and D(x’, \sigma) (II) that R(x’, \mu, \sigma)=O for =O . Hence we see from the proof of Lemma 6. 6 that Lemma 6. 6 is that \eta=\theta(II) and valid for such points D(x’, \sigma)=O . On the other hand, we see from (1. 2) that in some in Lemma 10.2 of a point \alpha) {\rm Im}\sqrt{\mu}\geq 0 \beta’) \gamma’) {\rm Re}\sqrt{\mu}\leq 0 {\rm Im}\mu\leq O \beta’) (x’, \eta, \sigma)\in U(x^{0})\cross(U(\tau^{0}, \sigma^{0})\cap R^{n}) \sigma) U(x^{0})\cross U(\sigma^{0}) (x^{0}, \sigma^{0}) {\rm Re} D(x’, \sigma)\geq 0 or -{\rm Im} D(x’, \sigma)\geq 0 On structures of certain L^{2} -well-posed mixed problems for hyperbolic systems 157 in the case (a) and (b) respectively. Hence we obtain gr,ad(x,\sigma){\rm Re} D(x’, \sigma)=O or gr” ad(x\sigma){\rm Im} D(x’, \sigma)=O whenever {\rm Re} D(x’, \sigma)=O or {\rm Im} D(x’, \sigma)=O respectively. Consequently it is seen from the condition (II) inequalities (6. 5) are replaced by |k_{II}^{0)}(x’, \sigma)|2 , \mathcal{T}’) that the |k_{III}^{0)}(x’, \sigma)|^{2}\leq C{\rm Re} D(x’, \sigma) or (10. 6) |k_{II}^{0)}(x’, \sigma)|^{2} , |k_{III}^{0} (x’, \sigma)|^{2}\leq-C{\rm Im} D(x’, \sigma) in the case (a) and (b) respectively. In the proof of (1. 1) in subsection 8. 2, use these inequalities instead of (6. 5). Then we see from the proofs of Theorems 7. 1 and 10. 2 that (1. 1) is valid for our case. Thus we can generalize our Main theorem: and (III). Then THEOREM 10. 4. Assume the conditions (II) , , the conclusion of Main theorem is valid for complex valued B(x’) . PROOF. Follow the proof of Theorem 9. 1 and note the relation (9. 11) and ) are preserved especially. Then it is seen that the conditions (II) for the problem (P^{(*)}, B^{(*)}) . Therefore the assertions of Theorems 9. 1 and 9. 2 are valid under the conditions of this theorem. \alpha) \beta’) \beta’) \mathcal{T}’) \gamma’ Department of Mathematics S\={o}ka University.
